an "article index" for the articles forum would be cool DLT, when you get a chance... could give someone ultimately a 'front end' for an entire articles/interviews/etc section <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sure <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

would there be a way to use threads to write articles, but then make them appear in the middle of a page outside threads, like this one? <br />http://demo1.interactivetools.com/current/artman_gr030/index.html<br />

you could use something like the ubbt_news script for that <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hmmn, I guess I missed that Alan. Btw, did you get that last pm I sent with my details? I never heard back from you after that.

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you want to be able to post an article in Threads, and then call that post and put it into a page using a script that is outside of the Threads directory then that's easy. All you have to do is require the Threads library, querry for the post, and then create a template to display the article... sounds like a lot, but it's realy not that bad <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Allen also makes a good point: If you take a look at how the ubbtnews.php script works (it's in the addons directory under your Threads directory) you should be able to figure out how to make the page you want.

muchas gracias DLT, love this one <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the props! A lot of the mods / admins here gave me some great feedback when I was writing the article templates <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I was wrong -this did need an update for Threads 6.4. I've corrected the files and uploaded a new zip file to the first post.

Well done Dalantech. I had done something else using the ubbtnews.php in the addons but it was becoming a pain to keep it seperate. Your templates are great, I'm going to do some minor changes to the templates to fit better into my setup. Thanks for the hack! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />

will this still work with 6.3

It wouldn't hurt to try it -but I can't tell you if it will work since I don't run 6.3 anymore. If it doesn't work then post your 6.3 showflat and showthreaded templates and I'll see if I can hack them for you.<br /><br />For 6.5 I'll start a new thread so that the version here will be frozen.
